Gases
Atmospheric Gases
Consisting primarily of those gases required to support life such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. These and other gases are mixed according to individual species' requirements. Without these gases, existence in space would be impossible.
Noble Gases
Otherwise known as the inert gases. Commonly used in refining, medical applications, general manufacturing as well as nuclear energy production and laser weapon production and research.
Halogen Gases
Halogen gases are characterized as salt forming (hence sodium chloride or common table salt) They are used primarily in the production of various nuclear, chemical and petrochemical fuels, as well as general manufacturing and the purification of water.
Astral Gases
Astral gases are the highly valuable and rare products of uncommon reactions in nebulas and gas giants. Comprized of complex structures of fused gaseous elements, Astral gases have a wide range of applications in modern industry and manufacturing.
Minerals
Construction Stone
When advanced contruction materials are unavailable, or not usable in a particular environment, large stone blocks (typically granite or basalt) are used. Used mainly as foundation stone, water planets in particular use stone as a sea barrier, creating artificial islands.
Facing Stone
The finer, better textured stone (of which marble is famous) is used as a decorative covering on buildings, and for stonework. Possessing a building with stone facing, rather than standard materials is a sign of status and wealth.
Natural Sculptures
Originally considered waste, stone that has been carved by nature is now considered both decoration and art. Large slabs are used as wall decoration, while small pieces are used in artwork, or are works of art themselves.
Alleyne Sheathing
Originally found in the Alleyne asteroid mines, this stone sheathing has a hardness similar to many advanced metal alloys; fractures into large rectangular plates for ease of use in construction work; and is highly resistant to non-particle weaponry. In appearance, it is a midnight blue colour with vivid red streaks, reminiscent of veins.
